Plants are really good at getting energy from the sun. It’s kind of their whole thing. Although we can sort of copy the process, photosynthesis hasn’t been seen as a viable source of energy because it cannot convert green light making it not a candidate for technical applications but that may be changing as a research team has been successful in creating a process that fills this gap.
The idea of fabricated organs is the stuff of science fiction. We’ve all seen movies and TV shows where they grow a new organ in a lab before they take it from its vat and drop it into the waiting patient. This might be a reality before you know it. Scientists have grown a mini-liver and implanted it into rats. Neat.
It doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re from, you need water to live. This is true for every living being on the planet for the most part. If the climate crisis is not slowed down, then more people will be living under “water stress” and that’s very bad news.

Seasonal allergies getting you down? Seem like you’re dealing with them longer than you did in past years? Well it’s not in your head. Allergy season really is lasting longer and getting worse thanks to the climate crisis.
The dust bowl was a huge event in America that changed the country forever. The original was caused by natural occurring droughts and was considered a once a century event. The climate crisis could make this rare occurrence more common.
Getting a flat tire is really awful. Finding out one of your wheels has given up the ghost can make you late or even worse, leave you totally stranded. Would be great if you could slap a band aid on it and go! Well thanks to some new research, that might be a reality. And bonus, it can be achieved with recycled materials.
